Canuc Acquires Claims Covering 271 ha Within East Sudbury Project (ESP)
Toronto, Ontario – May 12, 2026 - Canuc Resources Corporation (“Canuc” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: CDA, OTCQB: CNUCF, WKN: A41V6H) is pleased to announce that the Company has successfully acquired thirteen (13) additional mining claims within the Company’s East Sudbury Project (ESP) in the Sudbury, Ontario region. The newly acquired claims total approximately 271 hectares and further expand the Company’s strategic land position in the area.
The additional claims are situated within the broader East Sudbury Project (ESP) mineralized corridor east of the McLaren Lake Fault Zone (MLFZ) and are considered to be prospective for critical and precious metals mineralization within a system that can form IOCG and affiliated mineral deposits. The acquisition strengthens Canuc’s footprint in one of Canada’s leading mining jurisdictions and complements the Company’s existing exploration initiatives on the Project.
“The acquisition of these claims further consolidates Canuc’s highly prospective land position along the McLaren Lake Fault Zone within the company’s East Sudbury Project (ESP). The claims are located just east of the area being covered by the seismic survey undertaken by NRCan and will also be covered by the concurrent gravity gradiometric survey being flown by Bell Geospace,” stated Chris Berlet President and CEO of Canuc.
“The advanced geophysics which is scheduled to cover the area of these newly acquired claims is expected to provide critical information relating to IOCG and MIAC deposit targets along and beside the McLaren Lake Fault Zone within the company’s East Sudbury Project. The claims are considered to be an important and strategic acquisition extending the company’s land holdings along the eastern side of the fault.”
The Company has now integrated these newly acquired claims into ongoing exploration initiatives including the upcoming exploration and geophysical programs.
